I've been saying all along that John Barrowman would make an IDEAL Superman, though not for Bryan Singer's POS (Ror, feel free to shoot me any time - LMAO!)

JayJayCAW - 7/26/2011, 9:34 PM

............nah I dont think he'd be a good Superman, just doesn't have the look to me, he's good at what he does (Captain Jack on Torchwood) but thats it to me
